Introduction
(Set the stage, give us any background info that we might need to know (but just a hint), this is your HOOK. Provide a segue to the Task . . . make your reader want to click to the next section. There should be nothing that sounds like school work in this section. Don't give away what's going to happen in the Task.)

You have the chance to promote change regarding physical activity for one of the most renowned corporations.
Task
(This story should match the Task Description/Summary from your unit in Stage 2 (Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?). You can copy and paste from Dr. Grace's wiki.Tell the story of the Role, Audience, Situation, and Product & Performance. Be a story teller. Save any classroom-specific information for the Process. Build the scenario and stay in character. You can reference the Introduction but try not to duplicate the information that's in the Introduction.)
Larry Page, the CEO of Google, is looking to promote good health among his employees. He has decided to set up a competition for people to submit a video that expresses the importance of physical activity to help motivate and to better the health of his company’s employees. You, a personal trainer with years of experience, have been contacted by Larry Page. He personally asked you to create video. Your task it to create a video and be able to express the importance of physical activity and show the employees how to incorporate various exercises into their routines based on their interests. The video you create will be judged by some of the biggest names in the health and fitness industry. If you create the winning video you will be hired as Google's personal trainer. This is your time to shine. Put your best foot forward and try to better the health of an ever-growing company! Good luck!
Conclusion
(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)
Larry Page appreciates and thanks you for your interest and submission. He understands that it is hard to motivate others when it comes to taking care of themselves. However, with motivation and determination, anything is possible. One of the hardest things is to practice what you preach and make sure that you are bettering your own health by staying physically active.
Hopefully by spending time considering the health benefits of staying physically active and teaching healthful strategies to someone who needs some motivation as to why they should be physically active, has allowed you to learn more about the importance of physical activity in your own life. May you take what you have learned and continue life with a positive attitude towards physical activity that you use to both encourage and promote physical activity in the lives of others.
